Of conversation in Albany for the

and arrest three men who had
bought tickets from Ocklocknee to
this point. According to request
the officers met the train AMI as
certained that the parties in ques-
ton were rot IN board. One Of
them had left the train at Maigs,
whilst the other two had jumped

conton. Sheriff Swiudlp, of NJ tch.

aroused by the mysteriou7 actions
of the men, he depatized a guard
for his prisoners and likewise
stepped from the train. His in

As we have before hal occasion

are the brightest. The greatest
obstacle now in The way is that

none viii refuse to grant it. We

I'VE learn that there has been
some delay in places along the

knows that railroads largely bene-
fit the section through whicl they
pass. Land owners will consult
their own interest, we take it,
when they encourage the building
OF railroads promising such bene-
fits. We trust the work on this
much needed line will not be lie

A THANKSGIVING SERMON.

OF all the days that have been set apart
ns sacred to the people Of this country, two
stand forth III holy radiance rs the out
come Of the pureSt sentiments. The one
is Decoration day, and the other Thanks
giving. The one was born in loving mem
Dry of the dead, and the other III gratitude
to the hountiful Oliver of all we en- Joy.
The flowers we lay upon the graves of our
soldiers and lost ones are rot sweeter than
the thanks we offer today. Some, indeed,
may not give articulate sound to their
thanks, bat it is safe to say that in all
yhls broad land there is not one person
whose heart. whether it is weighed down
by sorrow or lignt with joy, does not send
at least one grateful Thought toward the
so@rcc cf I'll good, Though perhaps they
are hardly conscious e i.
Gratitude for favcr1 given is purr and
enrolling sentiment, ard meet is it that
this youngest and most s;THally blessed
country should set cpart ono day wherein
the whole nation, as one soul, should bow
in silent thanks for all the h0Untes and
blessings we enjoy. We receive the feast
iii the spirit of n reminder that these
blessings are hut n part OF the abundant
store; and with the fcasts.g the thanks
giving rises like incense. Let there be nc
empty tables in all the land, that not enc
single heart fail to offer its need; and Lot
rs all Praise the Lord for his good
works, for his mercy eCdurcth forever"
